Our Savior's Lutheran Church congregation makes a significant contribution to our budget. They provide all of the employee benefits, and allow us to occupy the building without rent or a contribution toward the plant's utility bills.

Our fiscal health relies on the support of friends. The Christmas season and the end of the tax year cause many people to consider their stewardship, and OSL frequently receives gifts. If you are so inclined, let me offer a few suggestions.

A gift of any size to the student assistance fund helps families where the job market or ill health has restricted employment opportunities. We have a number of families who would not be able to attend if they did not receive finaicial support.

A gift to the general fund allows the school board to match resources with the desires of the school leadership.

If you like to see the good things done by your gift consider one of the following gifts.

• 1 gallon of Elmer's glue $15.79
• Case of copier paper $35.98

• 2 basketball officials for 1 game $66.00

Or send in your gift directed to any purpose that you have identified as a need for our school.
